Awareness of Recurrent Education on Visually Impaired Workers: A Questionnaire Survey about their Working Conditions and Lifelong Learning Courses

Although there is a growing need to improve the skills of people with disabilities, it is difficult to establish a scheme through which people with disabilities can learn continuously. In particular, the needs of the visually impaired in recurrent education and lifelong learning are not well-known. Therefore, in this paper, we clarify the needs of recurrent education for visually impaired workers. We conducted a questionnaire survey about the work environment and needs from lifelong learning courses. The results indicated that visually impaired workers generally feel a need to improve their awareness of information technology and communication as well as skills directly related to their work.
